247: A focus on ornamentals

Wayne Brough, AHDB Horticulture Knowledge Exchange Manager for Ornamentals is joined by Georgina Key, AHDB Research Manager, Alistair Hazel, Operations Manager at Darby Nurseries, and Gary Woodruffe, Growing Manager at Bordon Hill Nurseries. 

 

The group explore a wide range of subjects including everything vine weevil control to pansy mottle syndrome, weed control to regular deficit irrigation, bedding and pot plant centre and growing media.  

 

Georgina provides an overview of AHDB research into these areas, and Alistair and Gary give us an insight into the grower’s perspective on how they approach these issues and what value they’ve found in using AHDB’s research and products.
